I like them. I would highly recommend getting the frame mounted steps. One issue with these steps (that may no longer be an issue) was that for some, the steps were not straight. See this link: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...-2-door-mk2-install-guide-revision-2-0.26197/ Mine were slanted on install. However, I just shimmed them and they are rock solid. Again, this may not be an issue now and it happened with some but not with others. I wouldn't let it stop me from buying them though. Solid product.

Fantastic!!! Thanks!!

Love the 2DR. I got my dealer to powder coat my wheels black as part of my deal. I am in the Chicago suburbs. I see an occasional 2DR JLR but mostly 4 door Saharas and Sports.

How are the ROAM steps holding up? Early adaptors reported very poor paint and rust very early on. How was customer service? Any feed back? I wanted them and back away for those reasons. Might reconsider?

So far so good on paint. I think they had changed their powdercoating process when I got mine and helped alot with the rust issues. Mine have been on for several months now, and haven't seen any rust yet. They did arrive with about an inch of paint missing on both sides (see pics). Not sure if this was something from the factory coat or perhaps during the packing process. I did touch it up and it has held up fine so far. Customer service is good from what little I have had to use it. As I said earlier in the post, my biggest hiccup was how much they slanted during install (about 3/4 of an inch). I did shim though and have had no issues with them at all. They are solid. Admittedly, I don't do any hardcore offroading and if I did, I would probably shim them with a metal plate as opposed to washers. I'll eventually do that anyway, but right now, they are doing really well.

I'm very happy with my JL-R! And it's great that it's a 'unicorn', since Deadpool likes unicorns (I have some Deadpool stickers on Ruby).

FWIW: looks like any 2.0 2-door is currently a unicorn, with less than 15% of the current votes. Manual 3.6s are about 35% of all 2-doors. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/2-door-unicorn-poll.47450/

I also have a two door manual Rubicon. She is the apple of my eye

She is the best. I saw another two door Rubicon at the grocery store the other day (JK) but still exciting!

I have a set of ROAMs too, and after almost 1 Colorado winter I haven't had any issues with them. No issues with paint, love the look and really like the "step". I installed the LEDs too, and that's a nice little "extra". As for customer service, the only issue I has was it took a while to get the order filled, but they were generally responsive when I sent an email asking a question.

All the two doors must be in Michigan. I regularly pass three or four 2-door jl on my way on. One almost a clone of my mojito black hard top JLR.

It's funny because mine attracts quite a bit of attention, no matter where I go. A lot of it is probably the color and 37's. Looks like TONKA toy. You just don't see them as often anymore.

OnlyOne - Nice JL! Are you running 37s on the stock wheels? If so, what mods (suspension height/type & wheel spacer size) did you make To fit them?

I am. No spacers either. I’m running a 2” Mopar lift with 2” bumpstops. I adjusted the steering stops at full stuff, with the wheels turned each way to eliminate rubbing anywhere. That’s it. It’s nice to keep the tires under the flares and keep the ball joint wear to a minimum, along with keeping all that weight as close as possible. Kind of like lifting a box and keeping it close to your body vs holding away from you.

Ill join the party, my mostly stock(for now) Black JLR 2.0 eTorque

Maybe not quite a unicorn, more like a Sasquatch. My JL Sport is one of very few I see. There are lots of Wranglers here in Castle Rock CO and I see 10X more JK/JL unlimited. I had looked at this 2019 JL Sport with a 3.6 having AC, Hardtop, and Auto as options in Dec during end of yr discount. I needed a little more off to make it work but they refused to drop any more. Even though it was exactly what I wanted I decided to wait and think about it more. There were several JL/JLRs on the lot but can't say I saw anything with manual, seems most 2 doors were the 2.0 option. They contacted me in Jan and dropped the price another $2K so I was all in.
I love her so much and want to name her but I'm afraid to because I talk in my sleep. Might just have to name her after my wife. I'm finally getting her plates tomorrow and saving up to buy her some new shoes.
